QUOTE(X5J9GDA82 @ Dec 17 2024, 01:26) New player, just got to level 100, playing only on Hell because I have crap gear. Balanced stats, leather armor, Niten Ichiryu. I have a few questions:
1. Just in general, is there anything I should definitely change up? Like weapon/armor choice. (One reason I ask is because Noni recommended using Sleep, but Sleep is debuffed for me because katana hits multiple enemies at once, waking up the sleeping person...) 2. Right now I am only doing random encounters because Arena on Hell takes more time than I am willing to spend per day, and on the higher level Arenas I inevitably die anyway. Is it worth dropping the difficulty down to Normal to daily clear the Arenas for the 1000 credits, or should I not bother because I will eventually level up and get better credit income anyway?
Niten fight style works until level 100 or so but then it becomes very very bad. It becomes playable when you have excellent gear and fully forged etc. For end-game players. And even then, it's not great. basically, it has too little defense from the weapons and not enough abilities to make it great. Dual Wield is better. And 1h heavy is easiest. But Dual Wield play, with frenzied blows, it a bit more similar to Niten I guess. With 1h: a shield with decent block will make it possible to play at even higher difficulties. with DW; learing how to time the Frenzied Blows is important:starting every round with FB allows you to play comfortable at Hell or even higher difficulties. I'd say Nintendo should be doable or even IWBTH. But not Niten. Niten is just badly designed / not designed for low level players at high difficulty. If you MUST play Niten, then lower difficulty is your only option. Dying every time on arena's is not the way to go. But on the other hand, playing on Normal is just a waste of time. So you decide for yourself. This post has been edited by Noni: Dec 17 2024, 08:45

QUOTE(BlueWaterSplash @ Dec 12 2024, 23:50) What is the loss to clear speed from the action of drinking infusions themselves? Maybe 0.5% to 1%?
Turns added using infusions should be in that ballpark (for me infusions seem to average about 0.8% to 0.85% of my turns). Actual time spent on using them might be a bit more or less depending on turns/s and how long it takes to use the infusions. I typically use infusion between or after imperils so blasting isn't disrupted.

Thank you for the advice. I have changed my build to 1H Heavy and it seems to be more effective. I can now typically handle random battles on Nintendo, though I die half of the time on IWBTH. I do have to ask though, I wonder if I am doing something wrong, because my gameplay is reeeeeeally slow. Like to the point where using something like Monsterbation seems totally inconceivable. Due to needing to make complex decisions every turn about mana management, special moves, healing, etc. my average Arena round on Hell takes something like 2-3 minutes. So doing, say, the level 140 Arena on Hell would take 2+ hours. Basically, is this just how it is at lower levels and it gets less interaction-intensive at higher levels?

Partly, yes. Simply, there is a huge boost in power in survivability from 150 to 300 level. Abilities and innate arcana spells help, I guess. Doing max difficulty on 150? very hard. On 300? Quite doable. Still 2 hours are too much for an average arena. Maybe it is so due to slow link, maybe cause weak equipment choices (probably not). 1h heavy not supposed to be decision management and healing. It is more about half afk-brain dead, when you kill them all from first to last without care, because nothing can hurt you as long as your regen is up. It is still slow though, but it really does not require much attention.

Lmao. I just figured out that you have to slot abilities. After slotting all my abilities, a Hell arena went from walking a tightrope of ability + mana + health management and guzzling up all my potions and barely surviving, to just holding down the number keys and instawinning. Literally 20x faster. I was, in fact, doing something wrong. In a way, I'm glad I didn't instantly figure this out since it forced me to actually learn the combat mechanics. I do hope I am not missing out on any other critical systems though...

Since you mentioned holding down number keys I'm assuming you don't use monsterbation - I suggest using it, main reason being holding down a key will result in deaths sooner than later. Monsterbation does so much it's almost a necessity. It will allow you to attack by just hovering a monster, and stop attacking at low health / after spark, while holding down a key would continue attacking and then you'd die. link to the script below https://forums.e-hentai.org/index.php?showtopic=211039

Thanks. Edit: I had a few runs screwed up because I somehow started casting spells instead of attacking and I lost all my mana... First with a fire spell and now with Smite. Maybe this was caused by accidentally pressing a hotkey? Not sure yet, need to investigate. This post has been edited by X5J9GDA82: Dec 20 2024, 06:49

Check your Monsturbation setting. It has default ctrl hover action and alt hover action. If you tried to switch between background apps or tabs via ctrl+tab/alt+tab, sometime it will continuously trigger alt/ctrl. It's better to set alt hover action to nothing. For ctrl hover action, only set to nothing if you use it to switch tab This post has been edited by l13763824039: Dec 20 2024, 06:59

Is there any way to choose the pony who has always chosen the wrong riddle master.Stamina is infinitely reduced.I need 10,000 ways to kill ponies, steal my stamina every day, and stink.And this pony's picture is just like Ollie's, I can't see what it is, and I deliberately don't let people see it clearly, which makes me angry (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) QUOTE(Boostedape @ Dec 11 2024, 20:25) The riddle master is almost driving me crazy I always have trouble recognizing which pony is in the picture because the quality of the picture sucked. As a result, my stamina penalty keeps getting worse. I just finished a 85 round arena and it cost me 17 stamina! (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Can someone give me some advice? (IMG:[ invalid] style_emoticons/default/cry.gif) Are you going to look at the pony now, this pony made me want to blow the puzzle designer's dog head and shove him down the toilet, I swear I'll do it one day This post has been edited by 熬汤喝: Dec 20 2024, 13:19

Hello everyone. I don't know if this is the right place to ask but, is there a thread where I can donate equipment that I don't need? Im salvaging Average and selling Superior to the Item Shop. But I just got my first RE legendary piece on PFUDOR and after checking I realized I'm saving Exquisite and Magnificent pieces even if I don't plan to use them in the future. I don't know, maybe they're junk, but maybe someone could use those Magnificent Cobalt Power Gauntlets of Protection or that Magnificent Zircon Leather Breastplate of ProtectionLife got easier since i can spam Weaken.

Please don't double/triple post. Here is a few tips in Chinese how to distinguish the ponies My personal tips: (Since this is a English main thread, I think I need to post at least with English version) Twilight Sparkle: flat tail, 平尾巴 Rainbow Dash: rainbow tail + different colored strip, 彩虹尾巴,能看出有不同色带 Rarity: curls + unicorn, 卷毛+有角 Pinkie pie: pinkie + curl (in different way) + no unicorn, 粉色卷毛无角 the other two might be troublesome Applejack: has hat (not always) + tied up tail + Plum blossom mark, 经常有帽子,尾巴绑起来,屁股有梅花印记 Fluttershy: fluttering hair + little wing, 长发飘扬,小翅膀 My general routine is tail->head (hair + hat + unicorn)-> ass (check Plum blossom mark) QUOTE(TheMotherFucker @ Dec 20 2024, 13:49) Hello everyone.

It's a very good choice. Fast, safe, makes it possible to play at high difficulty. At you level, below 100, dual wield and 2h work as well, and you can even mix whateverarmor you have. . But after 100, 2h is already bad and 1h and DW are still good. Pro tip: never play on normal. Hell is possible at your level. Stock potions an draughts, focus when running out of mana, defend when health is low. This post has been edited by Noni: Dec 21 2024, 10:15

it's still common due recently give by 10bo,so the price usually in 500-1000k,better wait couple years to make it price higher it minimum quality is magnificent,so it's still bad to shrine it.
